Paper Goods by Yellow Owl Workshop
I get a lot of emails from wonderful designers all of whom are creating beautiful elements for any wedding. But honestly, I only pick those that I truly love (and that I know you will love) for features on SMP. When Christine of Yellow Owl Workshop emailed me (just yesterday) some pictures of her absolutely gorgeous, handmade journals, I stopped the presses on our weekly schedule to show you these little works of art…
These are actually cotton watercolor books, which make great wedding gifts, but instead I think that they are absolutely perfect for a guestbook. Each book is adorned with dozens of potato print birds, so every journal will contain a different flight pattern….a complete one of a kind.
Christine also designs wonderfully unique and perhaps even quirky (in the best way possible) wedding stationery…
Each piece is designed to suit the personality of the couple…a forever keepsake that is a true reflection of your day. Thank you so much to Christine for sending me these beautiful ideas! If you are in need of a little inspiration, definitely check out the Yellow Owl Workshop site and Christine’s coordinating blog!

These are pretty, but if you are a little more cost conscious like me, I found a GORGEOUS blank book for guest sign in on the bargain table at a Barnes and Noble ($9.99!) just sayin’.
Meanwhile, I just have to pass long this HILARIOUS wedding video for nervous FOB’s!
I’m getting married in December, and so people are constantly sending me stuff, but this one is really good.
It’s the most adorable and funny video…it’s all about how the father of the bride feels when his little girl gets engaged to a man who is not good enough for her (because no man is good enough for her! LOL!)
The guy who made it is that guy who wrote the book and the John Ritter TV show “8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.” I bought that book for my dad for father’s day years ago.

I guess he has a book coming out now called “8 Simple
Rules for Marrying My Daughter.”
Probably I’ll have to get that one for my dad too, now that I’m engaged. Maybe it will make him less crabby about writing all those checks…Sorry Dad!
Dad’s just can’t handle giving away their little girl’s I guess…
